    Wall Mounted Vent Fan

    Hi All - After a few years of van use, I didn't think we needed or wanted a roof vent, so i didn't install one during our last rebuild. I am looking to put in a fan now after our last 10 day trip and the van getting stale with 2 humans and 200 lbs. of dog. I don't want to cut into the finished...

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    Yep, what grampswrx said... I dont hate it. But I am getting to the point where, for most of our travels, its capabilities just arent necessary. I might as well look into options that will make the drive time more pleasant and safe. The e350 looks ************ and can get nearly anywhere i want...

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    It's an option. I tend to move at a snails pace so I am sure it will make the list. As far as stocking Quigley dealers... I haven't been able to find much in Utah that stays on the lot long enough!

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    Hi All - I am starting to get some wanderlust and thinking of swapping our E350 Quigley for a new Transit 4x4. We have come to realize that 99.5% of our van time is spent on highways, ski resort shuttling, or BLM desert roads here in Utah. The capability (and lack of comfort) of the E350 just...

    Hunting for a tonneau friendly rack

    I had a Silverado a few years back and I wanted to save my tonneau. I mounted Yakima tracks on top of the bed rails and built up off of that. I wasn't looking for cabover capability though so that may add a challenge. I can't find any photos. If I do I'll post them. Not exactly what you're...

    Transit on Expo Trails?

    I have an '02 E350 RB V10 with a Quigley conversion and Agile RIP kit (meaning 6 inches lifted total) on 33s. I've run white rim several times, and most of Kokopelli as well as some other road/trails. I have yet to have to put it into 4wd on a trail. But I also don't try to crawl with it. It...

    Better front rotors for 2001 Quigley E350?

    I have been considering trying this swap. Not sure if anyone has experience with it or if it's more than youre looking for... But an option. Not affiliated. Just interested. I have an '02 with the K series single piston and it's just scary...

    How did your penthouse top change your van?

    Thanks for all the input. I take it that whether I choose a a pop top or a fixed top, I'll have no regrets. I have looked at some hardtops and have not ruled them out. At this moment, I am trying to keep the van to a max height of 8'. Between that and the fact that I am 6'5" and I wont be...

    How did your penthouse top change your van?

    Hey All - A pretty broad question, I know. And I have done plenty of searching here and on many other forums/sites. But I am hoping someone can provide a little insight into how adding a penthouse changed their van camping experiences. A little backstory: The wife and I bought the van back...

    Van Pogo-ing...

    Around 1k miles on the RIP kit. I am up to 65 psi front and 75 psi rear right now.

    Van Pogo-ing...

    Fair enough. That is the full Agile RIP kit; matched springs and shocks. The kit went on prior to tires, and i didnt notice the bobbing. But the van has had a lot of work lately in a short period of time. The suspension may still be or have been settling.

    Van Pogo-ing...

    Thats one of the previous changes. To be reviewed at a later date. For now im giving them the benefit of the doubt and ruling it out as a root cause.

    Van Pogo-ing...

    Hey all - i've recently been troubleshooting some issues on my 2002 Ford E350 Quigley. I've been making one chnage at a time to identfy some driving issues. The most recent issue is the feeling of the van pogo-ing/bucking like a horse. It happens distinctly in two driving conditions. 1...

    5th Gen 4low Fuel Mileage - or prepping for the Maze...

    Just updating this thread with results for searchability... we moved slow because we had a 2 year old passenger napping in one of the cars. We covered 225 miles going from Green River to Hans Flat, Chimney Rock, Dollhouse 3, Happy Canyon, and ending in Hanksville. Not a bad drive. Im glad i...

    I hate this process. Vehicle ideas/input?

    If your budget allows it, have you considered a Ford transit with a factory authorized 4x4 conversion? I am leaning that way with consolidating my vehicles. I intend to get it in the regular wheelbase and have the SMB pop top installed. That way the size is a bit more manageable for daily...

    Anyone add a jumpseat/3rd seat to cargo van build?

    I installed a bestop trailmax folding rear seat for a Wrangler in my e350 cargo. I set it so that it folds tight against the captains chairs to maximize cargo space. I used some custom scab plates for reinforcement and weld nuts to mount to so the floor is flat when removed. We only have a...
